[chottala.com] Indian Food Export Ban Causing Food Price Inflation in BD?

I understand that India has banned certain food items for export to
Bangladesh since October 2006 and that it increased the price of rice
recently by almost $100 for the export market. Are these measures
having an adverse affect on food prices in Bangladesh so that we may
consider India as taking a deliberately anti-Bangladesh stance and
trying to influence political developments in the country or are these
issues completely unrelated? If there is in fact some relationship
between the export ban and the rise of food prices here how could
Bangladesh offset these problems and why is not the Interim Government
making any comment on this unfriendly gesture by our big neighbour?

I would appreciate some comment on this issue as I am not entirely
clear on the matter and I am under the distinct impression that the
food price inflation is being artificially created although the two
floods this year had something to do with it but is that not also
caused by India by its unnecessary, unpredictable and often motivated
release of water from its side during the summer months. Also will
this not be a more serious problem after the Tipaimukh Dam
construction and when other river linking projects are complete? Does
the Interim Government have any policy to overcome these hostile and
distinctly unfriendly gestures of India or is Bangladesh to be to be
led by backboneless leaders lacking in national spirit and who are
apparently being advised by fifth columnist elements? How else can one
explain the Dr. Debapriya Bhattacharya appointment to the United
Nations as our permanent representative? Is this not a national
shame?

Comments are welcome on all these subjects and issues.

Regards

[chottala.com] WORTH A LOOK

A dangerous doctrine for
nascent democracies


AMM Shawkat Ali
The Election Commission, in its collective wisdom, thought it fit to invoke the infamous doctrine in support of its decision to call one faction of the BNP to hold dialogue to the exclusion of the other. Such invocation of an obsolete doctrine appears utterly irrelevant. Legal experts tend to hold more or less the same view. The well-being of the people cannot be served if the door to dialogue on electoral reforms is shut for some and kept open for others

[chottala.com] Bangabandhu should be father of the nation :Says his condemned killer

Says his condemned killer

Condemned Bangabandhu killer Khandaker Abdur Rashid has told a private satellite television channel that leader of the country's independence Sheikh Mujibur Rahman should be the father of the nation.

"Those who are trying to glorify the role of Ziaur Rahman to match the stature of Sheikh Mujib are mean minded," Lt Col (retd) Rashid said during an interview aired on Channel i on Wednesday night.

Rashid also said Zia's radio speech encouraged the people during the Liberation War in 1971.

Channel i did not disclose where it recorded the interview of Rashid, who has remained a fugitive for about a decade.

In 1998, a trial court awarded death penalty to 15 former army officers, including Rashid, in the Bangabandhu murder case. Later in 2001, the High Court upheld the death sentences of 12 and Rashid is among those living abroad.

Earlier, the TV channel announced that it would broadcast a five-part series of the interview but yesterday it said it cannot air the programme for "problems" in the tape.

Following is the translation of the interview.

How are you?
"I am well. But I always remember the people of Bangladesh. Thank you for organising today's programme, because people of Bangladesh as of now do not know clearly about the events of August 15, [1975]--how it was organised and what happened, like betrayal, later. And those truths could not be told for want of time and opportunity.

"The current situation in Bangladesh, I think, has totally unmasked all those who have done politics in Bangladesh till date. So, I think it is an opportunity and it is time to speak the truth, and I believe the people of Bangladesh will benefit from it. I have never done anything or said anything in my own interest."

How can you stay well with the accusation of a murder and with death sentence in a life quite like a fugitive?
"I feel, and I believe, I am responsible to Allah for everything. I have not done anything so far that might harm the country or the people. And I have confidence that I can justify my actions before Allah--that I was true and sincere in my purpose and actions. I feel I am well even after the damage done to me in different ways because I have confidence and inner strength and because I always work for truth and because the people of Bangladesh love me."

Don't you now feel any tension and think such obstacles come in everyone's life?
"Yes, I have the strength by the grace of Allah. I rather took more risks earlier when I went to the Liberation War because I did not know whether I would survive or not. Even on August 15 I was not certain whether we would survive or not or whether the mission would be successful or not. If compared, the risk is much less now. So, I am not at all worried although you have mentioned that I have been condemned to death. But I believe no one can do anything to anyone for doing anything. Everything will happen according to Allah's desire."

How many times have you appeared on television since 1975?
"On a CNN interview in 1979. Before that, Anthony Mascarenhas was scheduled to do a small interview. [Col] Faruk contacted him and gave an interview. But I did not like him personally when I first talked to him. So, I did not think it would be a good idea to talk [with Mascarenhas] freely and refrained from doing that. That was a special programme of 'World in Action'. When he wrote a book, 'Legacy of Blood', he also did not write a lot about me. He wrote about Faruk and mostly his own opinion."

When did that interview take place? Have you talked with any other TV channel since then or with any Bangladeshi TV channel?
"No, I have not talked with any TV channel since then. This is the first time that I am talking with any Bangladeshi TV channel."

Have you spoken with any newspaper about August 15?
"As a matter of fact, no newspaper came up to ask me for a detail interview although I have held press conferences on contemporary politics when I was involved in politics in Bangladesh. But I did not talk about August 15, nor did anyone show interest to ask me about it."

When were you born?
"I was born on December 6, 1946 at Chhayghoria village in Chandina, Comilla."

Would you tell something about your childhood, your parents?
"My father was a schoolteacher. In my childhood, I studied in my village school--I would go to school with my father. I appeared in matriculation examinations from Chandina, then studied at Dhaka College, then studied soil science at Dhaka University. I could not complete my master degree because I joined the Pakistan Army after the 1965 war. I was commissioned in 1966. I am the younger of us two brothers. My brother lives in Bangladesh."

When did you marry?
"In 1969."

When did you first come to know Col Faruk Rahman, the other condemned in Bangabandhu murder case?
"We lived close in Pakistan Military Academy. He was in the second war course and I was on the fourth war course. He was senior to me. Then we met again during the Bangladesh Liberation War. Faruk defected [from Pakistan Army] and went to Dubai first and then to India...I also went to India. Later, when we were in Bangladesh Army we used to meet always."

When did he marry?
"In 1973. He used to come to my house as a friend and got to know my sister-in-law. And then they married."

You joined the Liberation War in November 1971 and Col Faruk Rahman on December 12. Why did you delay?
"My posting was in Pakistan at that time and it was not an easy job to join the Liberation War from there. So, you see, most of those posted in Pakistan did not go back after coming to Bangladesh, and a few--five or six--went back but were not in a good condition. So, I think I am lucky that I could join the Liberation War although late."

How did you come from Pakistan and join the Liberation War?
"I went on leave in October and went to India not to go back. Then I joined the Liberation War. I was in Z Sector; Ziaur Rahman was the sector commander. Khaled Mosharraf was also in the camp. He was injured and was in hospital."

Do you know anything about Col Faruk's delay? How did he join?
"He was in Abu Dhabi on deputation. I do not know why he delayed coming to India from Abu Dhabi. He found a way because he had the will to do it. I cannot recall clearly. Major Jalil raised the armour unit and I do not know when exactly Faruk joined."

What was your thought about Bangladesh's Liberation War then?
"Many thoughts came to my mind--I should be a freedom fighter, whether Bangladesh should get freedom. Both Faruk Rahman and I were captain then.

"The war for freedom was a necessity. Once it starts, it should not be let fail. It became a responsibility of all Bangladeshi people to join and fight the war until independence. And I believe the people had the same feeling and so we succeeded to emerge victorious. I was looking for opportunity and joined the war as soon as I got it."

Do you think the war was inevitable? Do you think any special incident stirred it?
"The situation took such a turn that there was no alternative to war. Political struggle reached a final stage where people from all walks of life joined it after Awami League was denied power even after winning majority. It was seen as denial of democratic rights. It was a suitable time to march forward as far as is necessary to establish democracy and Sheikh Mujibur Rahman did so.

"As no agreement could be reached, he made it clear in the March 7 speech that the fight would be a war for freedom. I was present at the Dhaka racecourse [ground] on that day. The spirit of people on the day demonstrated that they were ready for the war for complete freedom.

"After the March 7 meeting, I, then serving in the EPI, was asked to join my old unit in Pakistan. So, I had to go. During my six-month job in EPI, I felt that Bangladesh was going towards the Liberation War and I also felt that Bangladesh this time will be liberated."

Did you talk among yourselves? Did you think that there could a federation with East and West Pakistan to ensure unity?
"Yes, we Banglaee army officers used to talk among ourselves. At first, many of the army officers believed that such an understanding would not be bad, many were hopeful that it would happen but it did not happen. Even though it was the responsibility of the then Pakistani government to implement it, it was clear that no understanding was possible after the party that won majority was denied power."

Do you think such a solution would have been good?
"I think that would not have been bad. After all, we were Muslims in both East and West Pakistan. A good cooperation would have been there between the two parts. In a confederation, Bangladesh would have had indirect independence and that would not have been that bad. But, when the war started there was no alternative."

Do you think Pakistan forced us to the war? What do you think about Oli Ahmed's statement in his doctoral thesis that the skirmishes during March 25-April 17 was controlled by a military leadership?
"In my judgement, such claims are only made by people who want to glorify themselves. There is no truth in that statement. If the army thinks they are going to start a war inside the country it becomes a revolt, a defection not Liberation War. It would also be wrong if they say there was no role of politicians or the people in it. The country marched towards the Independence War gradually because people's democratic rights were denied.

"Many, nowadays, try to glorify the role of Ziaur Rahman to match the stature of Sheikh Mujib and it has truly no legal validity. Even though many want to say that he delivered the speech on radio in Chittagong but what happened earlier--the events of several days after March 7, the Pakistan army's threat on Mujib and his arrest? Did te Pakistan army fight with the Bangladesh army or the Awami League workers or people? Who barricaded the roads, army or the people?

"And who delivered the historic March 7 speech at Suhrawardy Uddyan? Was it Zia or Mujib? It is mean-minded to portray Zia this way. I do not deny that Zia has a contribution. Sheikh Mujib has contribution, Zia also has contribution. So, we should give the respect Sheikh Mujib deserves, and also what Zia deserves."

What do they deserve? Many say Mujib proclaimed it, many say Zia while many say Zia's proclamation as an army officer gave people courage while many say it was done earlier? How do you want to respect them?
"The Awami League thinks Sheikh Mujib is the father of the nation as he won the Liberation War, and I also believe this. He should be respected for his role in earning the independence. I do not have any objection to term him father of the nation."

"And what Ziaur Rahman had said played a role to strengthen it. Most of those who firstly defected and went to India are students, Awami League workers or elected MPs. They went there fearing the Pakistan army's wreath. It might have been possible for them to form a liberation army but that would have taken a long time. At that moment, when Major Zia expressed his keenness to join the Liberation War in his speech, all in Bangladesh army did a united defection and it gave courage to the students and politicians who left the country."

"It is true that there were many senior officers in the army including Major Shafiullah, General Osmani, Khaled Mosharraf, and then Major Zia. But if compared, Major Zia should be respected for his one-minute radio speech, which provided a supplementary force. People and the BNP will decided what to call him for this."

Did army officer or jawans take part in the war willingly or were they forced to? Were the Bangalees in the army deprived?
"The Pakistani government committed a blunder which made the defection 100 percent. Otherwise, it might have been a fraction, like some people defecting at one time and others later at different stages. But Pakistan government asked Bangalees in the army, the EPR and the police, I mean military and paramilitary, to surrender saying they have been disbanded. A trained person with arms does not surrender to anybody on a radio announcement… it never happened in history. A detailed preparation was necessary to make it successful, which they did not have. They just made a radio announcement that all Bangladeshis have been disbanded and they should surrender their arms. So, those in the army and the EPR had to defect, and that is why the army defection and the EPI defection was 100 percent."

What would have happened if the announcement had not been done?
"If the Pakistan government had not done this announcement, maybe five percent would have defected at first, then 20, 30 or 50 percent would have defected. The rest 50 percent would have continued in their jobs. There would have been a question of doubt as to how many would take part in the Liberation War and how many would remain with Pakistan Army.

Did you have any contact with politicians during the Liberation War?
"When I was in Kolkata headquarters in the beginning, I came in contact with all--General Osmani, Khondoker Mushtaq, Tajuddin, Nazrul Islam, and many others. But I did not have very intimate contact with anyone except General Osmani because, you know, army personnel do not mix up with politicians much. They normally talk with other army persons."

Do you have any relation with Khondoker Mushtaq Ahmed?
"No."

Do you think the Liberation War ended very quickly? How do you see India's role, the fact that Pakistan Army surrendered before an Indian General?
"India would definitely utilise the opportunity when they got it. Announcement of Pakistan's disarming made it easy for Banglaees in the army and paramilitary to participate in the Liberation War and the war became strong. Military, paramilitary, politicians defected, and went to India and formed a government. Asked by that government, India started helping directly. However, it was a burden on India to support all the people, provide them with shelter, food and armours. India did not have the economy to bear the burden for a few years.

"Although India and Pakistan had several wars, no one came fully victorious in that sense. So, India was thinking to take the chance to have a victory on Pakistan. Although we take it as an independence war, India had plans from the very beginning that they would intervene directly, fight with the Pakistan Army and make them surrender before the Indian Army. India had a huge psychological gain that thousands of Pakistan Army members surrendered before them for the first time.

"But it would never happen that India wins over Pakistan if we were not in the war. It became easy for the Indian Army to enter Bangladesh as Bangladeshi people allowed to do so."

Why many Bangladeshis have a negative idea about India despite their assistance during the Liberation War? How do you evaluate the role of Bangabandhu in sending back the Indian Army?
"No matter how victorious India was over Pakistan Army, they could not win among Bangladeshis. We can thank everyone including India for helping us. But it does not mean that that country would sit in my country in the name of Liberation War. If that is taken for granted, it was not Liberation War.

"So, Sheikh Mujib had no option but taking the decision to send them back. If the Indian Army had not gone, they would have had to fight with Bangladeshi people."

Did you meet Bangabandhu anytime after the independence until August 15?
"No, I did not meet him. I never had any acquaintance with him. I gave him guard of honour when a state guest from Yugoslavia once visited Bangladesh and I met him again when he went to visit each unit at Dhaka Cantonment. But we had no conversation. He was there for five minutes and talked with army chief Shafiullah and deputy chief Ziaur Rahman."

What was your attitude towards India then?
"I thank India for its help until the Liberation War. But after the war, they worked against the people of Bangladesh. They took away all the armaments left by the Pakistan Army and machinery and equipment of different industries. They should not have done this. Besides, India printed the Bangladesh taka at that time and there were many duplicate prints. That harmed our economy a lot.

"In the 25-year treaty, there was a provision for regular consultation about foreign relations, which was not right for an independent country. India did not give Bangladesh anything other countries gave us, including trucks and buses. They never wanted to see Bangladesh becoming independent economically."

Was Bangladesh any threat to India ever for any reason?
"No, and Bangladesh will never be a threat to them ever. One reason may be that India may have thought that some Indian states may bolster their suppressed movements for autonomy or freedom if they see that Bangladesh has successfully become an independently rising country."

What do you think about the government decision to forgive the anti-Liberation forces, about the war criminals and the present demand of their trial?
"Those who acted against the Liberation War did it politically. People can make mistakes and do injustice in personal life and politically. But it is always good to forgive when there is any such doubt."

Do you think Bangabandhu's amnesty was a right decision?
"I think that was a right decision. And once you have pardoned somebody, you should not want to try him for a second time. Yes, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman should have tried those war criminals then, but he did not. And as he forgave them, no one will gain by making this an issue to belittle one. The people of Bangladesh have nothing but loss to gain from it. Politicians of Bangladesh did not always work for the people of Bangladesh. They remain busy in minor issues. Leaving it, we need a unity to develop the nation. We ourselves destroy this unity by bringing such issues.

Was the start of Bangladesh as an independent nation right under the leadership of Awami League or a national government could be formed after independence?
"The Awami League started its journey well as it had won elections before the war. They were right in forming the government. Then the constitution was formulated following democratic processes. That also went in line with the spirit of Bangladesh's Liberation War. But that government faltered later and made mistakes.

[chottala.com] What is going on, Mr. Chowdhury Irad Ahmed Siddiky ?

 
Dear Mr. Chowdhury Irad Ahmed Siddiky,
 
Your writeups seem to reflect your perrsonal vendetta against
your poor neighbour Jamal Hassan Poplu.
  
You are only exposing yourself in public!
 
I wonder, how many times you bite your lips, grind your teeth  and utter
Jamal Hassan Poplu's name throughout your days? Do use a Tasbi to
keep track of your deily rituals?
 
You have said: "There is only one group of the Bangladesh Nationalist
Party, it is called the group of Begum Khaleda Zia. There should be
absolutely no doubt about that in anyone's mind."
Just have a reality check on that.
More cats are comming out of the bags now.......
 
You have said: "I have already given his name [of  Jamal Hassan Poplu ]
to the proper place for necessary action to be taken."
 
Are you implying intimidation through your innuendoes?
 
Can you elaborate on your "proper place" and "necessary action"?
Is the place a Gulag run by DGFI in Dhaka and what do you mean by
"necessary action" ? Torture ? or  "complete obliteration"?
Do you have your own Torture chamber somewhere hidden in your
Zamindari from olden days? Or, is it new, decidedly under construction?
 
What is going on???
 
So long and bye.
 
Syed Aslam
 PS: Jamal Hassan Poplu has been mentioned 6 times in
Chowdhury Irad Ahmed Siddiky's posing below:

Jamal Hassan Poplu is an information terrorist who works for the
United States government in Washington DC and lives in Maryland. He
thinks that he is immune. Do you know why Sheikh Mujib's killers
will never be brought back and tried in Bangladesh? For the same
reason Jamal Hassan Poplu will not be brought back and tried in
Bangladesh -- that is because there is no extradition treaty. This
post is about the Expatriates and how they abuse their dual
citizenship against the interest of Bangladesh. It is not meant to
be a trade in abuse and personal attacks.

Inshallah, if and when the next elected government is voted to
power, we will introduce a bill for extradition treaty. Any country
(including the United States) that chooses not to sign it, will not
be given the privilege of dual-citizenship for all individuals of
Bangladeshi origin in that country. That means, if the extradition
treaty with the United States is signed, we will bring back Jamal
Hassan Poplu
along with the killers of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and
have his trial with Sheikh Mujib's killer in the same court. If he
is found guilty of treason along with the killers of Sheikh Mujib
for murder, then we will hang Jamal Hassan Poplu with the killers of
Sheikh Mujib on the same alter. This will be justice for all. I
think Jamal Hassan poplu is just as much a criminal as the killers
of Sheikh Mujib. If the killers of Sheikh Mujib can be allowed
freedom, so can be Jamal Hassan Poplu. A freedom that he currently
enjoys in the United States and a freedom that will not be long
lasting. I have already given his name to the proper place for
necessary action to be taken.


As I said before, I will not entertain all your questions and
personal attacks that do not relate to the precise subject of
discussion of this post.

Finally, in response to your quote from Samuel Johnson, "Patriotism
is the last refuge of a scoundrel," you know what is patriotism and
you know what are the attributes of a scoundrel. Unfortunately you
do not know anything about the actual order of refuge of your
presumed scoundrel in question. Therefore, may I respectfully
suggest that this ignorance is certainly not bliss and your "little
learning could be a dangerous thing." (improvised from Alexander
Pope; An Essay on Criticism, 1709).

Next time if you quote someone, please be literate enough to quote
the souce as well. This is a scholarly convention. Unless you are
something else. Which is certainly fine with me. lol...

Dear Mr. Chowdhury Irad Ahmed Siddiky Shaheb

Would you please refrain yourself from accusing others, who have
different prespectives than that of yours, for Treason and Terrorism? This seems to be a repeation of an age-old tactics in by the reactionaries in the maneuvors for keeping their hegimony in the political power structure and establishment. Are you still the Secretary, International, Diplomatic & Expatriate Affairs of The Bangladesh Nationalist Party. If so, which group you are in?
 Will General Moeen U. Ahmed planning join a reformed BNP at the
end?

 I don't see anything special in your General Moeen U. Ahmed other
than rethorics and "politically motivated speeches". He has failed to refute the
accusation of his Taka 99 lakh loan from the Trust Bank as mentioned in it's prospectus. There are also accusations that he has faked his resume about graduating from Harvard over and over again. Only thing he attended was a weel long short course at the KSG and does attending short course make any one a Harvard Graduate? What do you think?

 Is it not a fact that he was one of *Khaleda Zia vis-a-vis Tarek Zia's fan*before being promoted to the position of the "Commander of the Bangladesh Army"
 [The Chief of the Army Staff (CAS) of the Bangladesh Army ]?
I read in one of the back issues of Bangladesh Observer [the then
Pakistan Observer]
 in microfiche that portrays Mr. Tanvir A. Siddiky as a NSF cadre.
It mentions that when Ayub wanted to meet DU student leaders everyone rejected the offer, except for NSF. *NSF leader, Mr. Tanvir A. Siddiky and Mr.A.R. Yousuf met him for a parlor.
 *They saw **a Great man, a Great patriot in Ayub.* I see the same
sychophant in your chorus* "God Bless Begum Khaleda Zia and God Bless, General Moyeen U. Ahmed".* Is this *Moshaheb Giri* *runs in the family?* What was Mr. Tanvir A. Siddiky's position on independent Bangladesh in late sixtees and in 1971?

The corrupt politicians reflects only a corrupt society. If a society is corrupted,
 the Army would not be any exception. The institutional corruptions are
equally important as the corruption at the personal level.

Do you really know why Gen. Moeen U. Ahmed recently visited USA?
What was happening behind the scene? How money was spent from the Bangladesh Government's exchequer for the visit including the cost for his entourage?

In any case, I always look at the *Great Patriots* with a grain of
salt: *Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel*.[Dr.Samuel
Johnson*,*1775*].*

 I will wait and see how your *Great Patriot Ge. Moeen U. Ahmed*
behaves during next 2 years and later.

Syed Aslam

 Bhai Aslam,
We are all birds of the same Bangladeshi feather, we might not
necessarily flock together. Neither do I change my feather often.
But I think the person you are holding grievances against is a
Great man, a Great patriot, and a Great Bangladeshi. It is only because
of him that we have some of the most corrupt politicians in jail
today. The same politicians who would not let alternate political
 leadership to grow in their respective constituencies. A doctor
from Netrokona or a lawyer from Sunamganj or a professor from Magura
could not previously become a member of parliament because these
parliamentary seats became ancestral property of the same sharks
 who "changed their feathers" to remain in government whoever came
to power. Nobody ever challenged their authority but everyone
recruited them as an MP or as a cabinent member just because they were able
to make themselves indispensable to the political process through a
process of political monopoly. Was that scenario good for
 Bangladesh? I am not saying that the current regime has impunity
over actions that were not in the best interest of the state.
Dr. Fakhruddin Ahmed, a childhood friend of my father has not
 disclosed his 1088 Brickyard lane, Potomac, MD 20854 property to
the government of Bangladesh when his wealth report was submitted.* *He
also has another house in the Gaithersburg area of Maryland that is
 also not known to the government. His houses in Banani and Gulshan
 might be known to the government but nobody knows whether he is
paying taxes on them. Barrister Moinul Hosein's younger son just
 received a license to operate a private television channel and a
CNG station.* *Yasmin Murshed of Scolastica was made a high
commissioner  to Australia and Fahim Munaim of the Daily Star was made a High Commissioner to Canada. So was Debapriya Bhattacharya who left
Dhaka yesterday to represent Bangladesh as its ambassador to the UN in
Geneva. These are just some of the gossips of the elite circle in
 Bangladesh. Unfortunately it isn't prudent to divulge any more than
 that and all that I have said is already in the public domian and I
cannot tell you any more due to the trust bestowed upon me by the
people of Bangladesh to look after their interest.
> *
 Now, are all these free-riding going to become halal or kosher
 after the elected government is voted to power? Be sure, it will
not. Does it mean that General Moyeen has done nothing good for the
republic? Absolutely not. General Moyeen has done for Bangladesh
 what all former presidents and prime-ministers since the death of
 Ziaur Rahman has failed to do. Bangladesh should be very proud of
 General Moyeen that he has kept the hungry sharks of our society
locked up and we look forward to that lockup cell of those criminal
politicians to be their permanent graveyard. Bangladesh will not
forgive a single corrupt businessman, politician or bureaucrat.
God Bless Begum Khaleda Zia (but not her corrupt ministers), God
Bless General Moyeen and God bless Bangladesh.
 
Best Wishes,
 
Chowdhury Irad Ahmed Siddiky.

 Postscript: Thank you for defending my integrity last week against
 the Awami cyber terrorist Jamal Hassan Poplu of Maryland.

[chottala.com] Akbar Ali hits out at 'profiteering' NGOs

Akbar Ali hits out at 'profiteering' NGOs
 
Dr. Akbar Ali Khan
Dr. Akbar Ali Khan
 
Dhaka, Nov 6 (bdnews24.com) – Akbar Ali Khan, chief of the Regulatory Reforms Commission, said Tuesday that nongovernmental organisations must go through massive reforms to benefit the poor.

Khan, a former bureaucrat and adviser to the caretaker government, was critical of the NGOs for moving away from its original mission of empowering poor people into money-making.

"Microcredit is not the only remedy for poverty alleviation. An overall economic development is a must to eliminate poverty from the country," Khan said as he opened a project, called SMILING, in the city's Sher-e-Bangla Nagar.

Prip Trust will implement the Small Initiative by Local Innovative NGOs (SMILING) Project, funded by the European Commission.

Khan said the NGOs had started their activities to change the fate of poor people but now they are "leaning all the more toward business activity".

"All big NGOs had said poor people would come to the leadership. But scope had not yet been created. All rich people occupied those posts," Khan said.

Khan said the new commission under his leadership would start working next week.

Recommendations have already been sought from various business chambers and associations about what they want from the commission, Khan said.

On Oct 30, the interim government formed the 17-member commission headed by Khan.

The commission is responsible to review all government regulations and advise the administration for changes to the official machineries.
